Colombia Crest Gold Announces Corporate Changes

Colombia Crest Gold Corp. ("Colombia Crest"; the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CLB)
(PINKSHEETS:ECRTF) (FRANKFURT:EAT) is pleased to announce that it has made
changes to reduce overhead and land holding costs by dropping non-essential
concessions that are contained within the Fredonia Agreement in Colombia.


The Company has notified it's land holder partner, Grupo de Bullet ("Bullet"),
and Bullet's various subsidiaries that it is no longer interested in holding
five (5) concessions of the 15 contained in the Fredonia Agreement. Colombia
Crest will continue to explore 10 concessions covering a total of 13,324.7
hectares under the Fredonia Agreement. Under the adjacent Venecia Agreement, the
Company still holds an addition 1,983.8 hectares, thus the total land area for
Colombia Crest's Colombian exploration program is 15,107.5 hectares.


"The five concessions were dropped based on our geologic review over the past 12
months of the areas. As part of our strategy to maintain our Colombian program
in working status throughout the market downturn, we are looking at every way
possible to reduce costs, and remain focused," commented Hans Rasmussen, the
Company's President and CEO. "While these are difficult times for junior
explorers, several opportunities will come out of this downturn. We are
reviewing every opportunity possible, while also maintaining a very low
overhead."


Director Changes

Due to increasing demands from his personal businesses, Chris McKellar has
resigned from the Company's Board of Directors.  The Company wishes to thank
Chris for all of his contributions.
